Representatives of Orlando's new downtown Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts on Thursday unveiled many of the shows to be presented during the venue's first year of operation.

They will join previously announced performances such as touring Broadway musicals and Orlando Ballet productions at the center, under construction at Orange Avenue and South Street.

But Thursday was the first glimpse of the other shows that will be staged in the months after the $514 million venue opens in November. In the lineup are a jazz series, dance performances, children's shows and, most intriguingly, a snow-filled spectacular. Still more shows will be announced in the future, officials said, but this is the complete confirmed lineup for now.

Here's a look at what's in store:

Broadway shows

Co-presented with Florida Theatrical Association.

•The Phantom of the Opera: Dec. 3-14. The Andrew Lloyd Webber musical about a deformed man who falls in love with a beautiful singer.

•The Book of Mormon: Dec. 26-Jan. 4. The comic musical from the creators of TV's "South Park" about two naïve missionaries in Africa.

•Slava's Snowshow: Feb. 16-28, 2015. Music, comedy and clowning combine in this production all based around the majesty and magic of snow. An international success, the show aims to bring theatergoers on a dreamlike journey, helping adults to reconnect with their inner child.

Children's shows

Costumed characters, puppets and other performers bring to life children's favorites from TV shows seen on PBS and the Disney Junior network.
